Seoul (VNA) - The Vietnamese Students' Association in the Republic of Korea (VSAK) organised the 10th Annual Conference of Vietnamese Young Scientists (ACVYS) on September 8 in Seoul.
The event saw the participation of nearly 500 participants, including Vietnamese and international students and researchers studying in the RoK, scholars and scientists, and representatives from the Vietnamese Embassy in the Asian country.
Under the motto “Connecting knowledge, igniting passion”, the conference offered a venue for scientists to discuss and share knowledge, help young ones connect, share information, resources, and research experiences in related areas, and foster interdisciplinary and cross-field research collaboration.
The event focused on topics covering areas such as information technology and computing; material, energy and environment technology; biotechnology; mechanical engineering; social sciences and humanities & management and economics; and semiconductor technology.
As many as 100 nominations had been sent to the organising board for an award reserved for Vietnamese young scientists in the RoK, and five were honoured for their remarkable performance in information technology, digital transformation and automation; new material technology; biotechnology; environmental technology; and medical technology.
Ambassador Vu Ho said he hopes the conference will draw more scientists, not only from the RoK but also from the Northeast Asia region.
Bach Thi Phuong Anh, Vice President of the VSAK, said the conference features innovations in organisation, as well as improvements in the quality, quantity, and types of reports, promising to provide the scientific research community with exceptional experiences and high-quality scientific work with practical value.
In the framework of the event, the VSAK hosted a seminar to provide Vietnamese students in the RoK with a clear perspective on making decisions about their future career.
﷽ This offered an opportunity for Vietnamese students in the RoK to gain an objective view of the golden period of cooperation between the two countries and to learn about job opportunities at Korean companies and businesses./.
By researching and applying high technology to solve pressing problems in life, young people have contributed to bringing a better life to the community.

With the government's strong direction and active participation from businesses and citizens, national digital transformation is deepening, with a focus on building a digital government, economy, and society.
VietNEST (Vietnamese Nurturing Education for Science & Traditions) is a mobile app and digital platform for Vietnamese language learning among overseas children.
The networks bring together universities, research institutes and domestic and foreign businesses. Members will work closely in training, research, and technology transfer by sharing curricula, improving faculty capacity, providing access to laboratories and research facilities, and jointly implementing science and technology projects.
The Better Choice Awards (BCA) 2025 is a key highlight in the lead-up to Vietnam Innovation Day that falls on October 1, an annual event expected to attract hundreds of innovative enterprises, research institutions, investment funds, and startups from both Vietnam and abroad.
The new line serves as a critical backup route, strategically complementing existing submarine cables and enhancing the resilience, proactivity, and security of Vietnam’s telecommunications infrastructure.
Vietnam is actively yet cautiously preparing for the construction of its first nuclear power plant in Ninh Thuan (now the south-central coastal province of Khanh Hoa). The resumption of the programme after years of suspension carries considerable significance for the nation’s development in a new era as it strives to gradually reduce and ultimately phase out coal-fired power to realise the Government’s commitment to Net Zero by 2050.
The government leader reaffirmed Vietnam’s goal of achieving self-reliance in the design, manufacturing, and test of necessary semiconductor chips by no later than 2027.
With the launching of its two-tier local administration model, the city is incorporating technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain to enhance service delivery for citizens and businesses, aligning with the Politburo’s Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.
Vietnam has issued many key policies to support semiconductor development, notably the Politburo’s Resolution 57 on science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation. Other initiatives include the Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2050, and the Human Resources Development Programme for the Semiconductor Industry.
Vietnam is no longer just an emerging blockchain market, it is stepping into a leadership role, with global investors, developers, and experts recognising its growing potential to become a leading hub for digital assets in the region.
Taking place on August 1–2, the event features more than 20,000 attendees and over 200 speakers from Vietnam, the h Korea, Singapore, the UAE, Hong Kong (China) and the US.
Dung directed the Ministry of Science and Technology to revise the national startup scheme, ensuring it clearly defines the scope and content, grounded on strong political and legal foundations, international best practices, and well-reasoned arguments for submission to the Government.
The two-day academic forum, themed “Resilience, Sustainability & Digital Transformation in a Changing World: Perspectives from Southeast Asia”, aims to share interdisciplinary research insights, focusing on adaptive capacity, sustainable development, and digital transformation amid evolving global and regional landscapes.
With such a rapid economic growth, Vietnam must diversify energy sources and nuclear power is a rational choice to ensure the national energy security, said Associate Professor Kei Koga from the Nanyang Technological University (Singapore).
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung emphasised that Vietnam has a clear strategy and ambition in this field, and is rapidly emerging as a central hub and key link in the regional and global semiconductor value chains.
According to Cushman & Wakefield’s latest Asia-Pacific Data Centre Investment Landscape report, Vietnam now ranks second in the region for data centre investment returns, with a yield on cost (YoC) of 17.5–18.8%, just behind Singapore’s 21–23%.
Vietnam is taking drastic yet cautious steps in building a culture of nuclear safety and security, with the aim of having its first nuclear power plant operational by the end of 2030 and using this specific energy source effectively and sustainably.
Vietnam’s 5G strategy has been clearly outlined in national digital technology and infrastructure policies. A wide range of solutions is being vigorously implemented to achieve the target of an average internet speed of 100 Mbps by 2025 and full nationwide 5G coverage by 2030.
The visit aimed to assess the new two-tier local government model, preparations for upcoming Party congresses at levels, and implementation of the Politburo’s Conclusion on school construction in border areas.
